Why don't you have a look at maybe investing in Wireless Internet? Its much more reliable and ADSL and less of a hassle, and the problem gets sorted out ASAP.
Not necessarily, not to mention heavy usage tents to be discouraged, Bryanston's DSL infrastructure was fixed up a year or two back and its currently holds the fastest average speeds in SA, if your line is with Afrihost PM Afriman, else logon to Clientzone and perform a port reset yourself, if your line is with Telkom then PM the Telkom rep, wireless should be a last resort if you have access to fixed line systems.
Here is my tracert from Bryanston, I think my MSAN is along Cumberland or Homestead judging by my attenuation and SNR

Morné I've got a friend near Krugersdorp who needs wireless internet that isn't 3G from the incumbents, preferably uncapped with NO throttling over specific limits (mimicking DSL basically) do you guys have an
affordable package with coverage surrounding Krugersdorp?
